Hey folks,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note. My little buddy Faxon is hurting. He has an infection in his good eye. He is blind in his right eye. Been treating this since July 3rd and have had to make a couple of trips to the vet's office. Yesterday we made an emergency visit because apparently he had a reaction to the drops we had to put in his eye and it swelled completely shut!!
He had the same infection a year ago. I kept telling people something happened with the drops then but I could not remember what it was. Of course, no one listened to me and insisted the drops would be fine. Wrong!! This reaction to the drops has caused him a lot of additional pain. The vet yesterday, (a different one) said although it is rare some cats can have reactions to the drops. He changed the medicine to a cream and it seems to be working. But I have to spend the bulk of my time taking care of him. I can't let him rub his eye, which he wants to do. They gave me a collar to put on him so he could not rub it and immediately Faxon tore it to shreds. He is stubborn like his momma, LOL.
Anyhow, I won't be here for a couple of days and hope to be back on by Monday, Tuesday at the latest. I was planing on posting about canning meat today, but it just has to wait. Thanks for understanding!!
My little buddy, my baby, my closest friend!!
Your other half in the seeing world.
Take care
Yes he is, thank you @bchick!!
Awe man! I hope he heals faster! I hate when they don't listen! I have to go to the vet for yearly vaccines on Tuesday and I will not be seeing my dog's regular vet. I will have to remind him that he has to give the shot submuscular. Ugh. Haha I hate having to reiterate! Ha
Well take a much needed break and tend to your little buddy! I hope the cream helps fast!
Aw I'm sorry to hear this Alice. I hope he gets better soon x
Hope you are better soon Faxon. Bella had a very sore left eye when she was a kitten, we were all sure she'd loose it. However a couple vet visits and eyedrops took care of that. so I'm sure Faxon will be fine!
